12 children and adolescents with mental disabilities in Champigny-sur-Marne try their hand at leather goods. A possibility offered as part of the “Manufacto, the know-how factory’ project, initiated by the Hermès Foundation.

Supervised by a craftswoman, specialized teachers and educators and even parents, these children and teens from the medical institute are trying out leather goods for the first time. Some gestures are hesitant, others already confident and applied.
